| Aanvullende informatie |
Krannon was a minor but strategically positioned Thessalian city whose influence peaked during the late fifth and early fourth centuries — it gave its name to the Battle of Krannon in 322 BC, where Macedonian and Thessalian forces crushed the last serious Greek resistance following the death of Alexander. Bronze civic coinage of this type predates that battle by a generation, placing this chalkon in the period of Thessalian League politics and shifting local hegemonies before Macedonian dominance rendered such independent issues largely obsolete.
